Chris Cotillo of MLBDailyDish.com reports that Steve Edlefsen has retired from baseball.

Edlefsen, 28, appeared in 27 games for the Giants from 2011-12, posting a 6.75 ERA. He had been at Triple-A with the Dodgers, where he held an 11.88 ERA across 8 1/3 innings. Mon, Apr 21, 2014 08:45:00 PM

Edlefsen was designated for assignment Friday. He had a 4.70 ERA in 15 1/3 innings with the Giants this season. Tue, Sep 11, 2012 05:52:00 PM

Giants designated RHP Steve Edlefsen for assignment.

The move cleared a spot for Yusmeiro Petit on the 40-man roster. Edlefsen had a 4.70 ERA and 9/6 K/BB ratio over 15 1/3 innings with the Giants earlier this season. Fri, Sep 7, 2012 10:23:00 PM

Giants optioned RHP Steve Edlefsen to Triple-A Fresno.

Edlefsen made 14 relief appearances since being promoted in late-April, posting a 4.37 ERA and 1.69 WHIP. He'll be replaced by George Kontos on the active roster, but figures to be back up later this year. Sat, Jun 9, 2012 01:12:00 PM

Manger Dave Roberts told reports that Kershaw "felt good" after the bullpen, although he added that it was more about how he felt physically than his execution. The star southpaw will next throw a simulated game on Saturday assuming there are no setbacks from the bullpen, and then he'll likely make 1-2 rehab starts before rejoining the Dodgers' rotation at some point in early June.

Hill also threw a bullpen session on Tuesday, and he told reporters he touched 92 mph with his fastball in his latest bullpen session on Wednesday. Hill is still wearing a band-aid over his left middle finger -- something he isn't legally allowed to do -- and he still projects to come back to the Los Angeles rotation at some point in the middle of June.

Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said Thursday that Hyun-Jin Ryu (groin) will be sidelined until the second half of the season.

Ryu was placed on the disabled list Thursday afternoon after suffering a significant left groin strain in the second inning of his start Wednesday night against the Diamondbacks. He actually tore the muscle completely off the bone. It's awful news for the Dodgers, as Ryu was 3-0 with a 2.12 ERA and 0.88 WHIP through 29 2/3 innings (six starts) this season. Walker Buehler is now locked into a rotation spot in Los Angeles, probably until he reaches his innings limit.

Julio Urias said Friday that he will be cleared to begin throwing off of a mound "in the near future".

It's a good sign that the prized left-hander is making progress in his recovery from surgery to repair the anterior capsule in his left shoulder. The Dodgers remain hopeful that he'll be able to contribute at some point during the 2018 regular season. While he's still a tremendous option in keeper and dynasty formats, he likely won't provide enough production to be worth the stash in redraft leagues this year.

Koehler was placed on the disabled list in March after suffering an anterior capsule strain in his right shoulder. The right-hander will head to Camelback Ranch in Arizona on Friday to start the program. There's still no ETA on when Koehler will return to the Dodgers, but because he's on the 60-day disabled list, he won't be able to return until June at the earliest.
